Things People Who Are Bald Wish You Knew

If this is part of your life story, please share your insights! What would you like the rest of us to learn? What should we know about people in this community? How would you like people to interact with you? Should people ask questions? What’s the best way for people to learn about this? Do you have any resources (books, movies, YT videos, etc) that will give us greater understanding and empathy and kindness toward people who experience the same things you do?

If you’re not on this journey, we welcome you to listen, learn, and ask respectful, good-faith questions! Open-ended questions are highly encouraged, as they give people the space to share their unique experiences in their own words. While this is a safe space to learn about things you’ve never experienced, please remember to be sensitive, and avoid sharing harmful stereotypes or debating someone's lived reality. If you have a question, ask it with empathy. If someone gently corrects you, please be open to learning. Let's have a gentle, fun, friendly conversation where we support one another, because it takes all sorts to make a world!

I've been shaving my head for several years after noticing my hair falling out, my hairline receding, and a lovely bald spot at the back. However, saying that, I've recently reframed all of this... I'm not bald, I'm aerodynamic 😄

A mom will correct her child "Don't call her fat! Don't call him ugly! Don't call her stupid! Don't call them .... !" 

But if their kid points and say LOOK MOM HE'S BAAAALLLLLLLLDDDDD!! hahahahahahah

The Mom will join their kids' laughter. At you. Because everybody knows that bald people deserve it. It's the last form of demeaning that everyone agrees on is OK.

And it's your job to say, what a nice kid. Lots of Moms. Happens alot. Imagine what they say in private. 

The good side of it is it cuts to the truth about other people faster. And for that alone, I honestly wouldn't change if I could. I was once good looking and attracted many fake people at the time. Then I turned ugly, I care about everybody deeper now, really do. Some beautiful friends love me, some ugly ones, but they are all genuine now.

@RedWell I'm so very sorry you had to experience all of that. It's definitely not okay to call someone names and make fun of them based on their appearance.

You deserve to be treated with love, care and respect 💖 I'm so glad that you've found some genuine friends now ❤️ please be gentle with yourself 💖 you're not alone, and you truly matter 💝 I'm sending you lots of love and *Bigggggg hugs* 🐾💕
